"And I beheld, and heard the voice of one eagle flying through the midst of heaven,
saying with a loud voice: Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth....

ONE WORLD RELIGION WATCH: Lutheran leader calls on theologians to remove obstacles to unity with Catholics

ONE WORLD RELIGION WATCH: Lutheran leader calls on theologians to remove obstacles to unity with Catholics
The head of the Lutheran World Federation has called on theologians to remove the obstacles that hinder unity with the Catholic Church.
Rev. Dr. Martin Junge made his remarks in a letter commemorating the 50th anniversary of official Lutheran dialogue with the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity.
“Our task as theologians and as pastors should never be to provide explanations as to why unity is not yet possible; our task shall be to creatively and courageously remove the obstacles that still prevent us from the enjoyment of God’s gift of unity,” wrote Junge.
He added, “Decades of ecumenical dialogue, deep encounters in prayer, and passionate joint service to suffering people in the world have brought about trust, mutual understanding, and differentiated consensus in basic issues of faith.”
